Anyone else notice how miserable Melania looks whenever she is near the Donald?

67. OK

But I find it interesting that you don't think Trumps behavior towards his wife (or her response to him) is "fair game." The man has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of respect for her in much the same way as he has towards women in general. It's not speculation that he was married to Melania when he was talking about grabbing women's genitals and was allegedly assaulting a large number of women.. You can also observe something not quite right in his behavior towards Ivanka and Tiffany but that would be speculative also.

The man is grossly character disordered I believe and that shows up in a lot of ways including how he treats those closest to him. Saturday was the first time I actually saw the first couple interacting for more than a few seconds and it was striking to me how remote it looked and how she did not appear to be comfortable. Maybe the country is unhappy with him for the same reason she is i.e. his chronic dishonesty and self absorption. But I believe your point is we should not speculate on this, even if there is some objective evidence.

I disagree with your description of the right wings treatment of Bill and Hillary. They did speculate some on their marital status but that was the frosting on the cake they baked which included wholesale character assassination of both of them for anything they could come up with or without evidence. I am not seeing this as the same thing.

But I will try to keep your principle in mind in case he decides to grab someone again, "hike the Appalachian trail" or takes a wide stance in an airport bathroom or gets charged with the assault of someone in his family etc. But I have little hope that our loyal opposition would be that gracious if the shoe were on the other foot.
